Edith: I was away and in all the emails somehow missed your original post. Did you tell us what unit your ancestor was with? There are numerous books out on the battle, some have been listed already. There is a book that lists those buried in the National Cem there also. Perhaps if you gave us more info on your relative, we could direct you to a book or article that specifically covers their actions there. If you already stated this, my apologies. As I mentioned, I missed your original post. Paula
